Ever needed to spice up a stay in a city? Or, ever needed something to fill the gap between sessions when you are missing a player? Add a little flavor to the adventurers’ city visits with a rampaging mummy, a circus gone wild, a haunted inn, and much, much, more. You can even use these encounters in Tomb of Annihilation by adding content to Port Nyanzaru, and by using the Museum Curator background! Also included is a separate PDF containing Eberron converstion notes.

This 80-page supplement contains 26 encounters written by best-selling Dungeon Masters Guild writers and new writers!

These encounters are location generic and are designed to be easily added to any campaign. Use them to introduce new players, as inspiration for a new campaign, as a one-shot, or whatever else you can think of.

I've just posted a new update. The Color version now includes bookmarks for easier navigation. All other files and maps remain the same.

You posted an update. Is it just the maps, or do you update the supplement?

Hey! You don't need to download the update. It's only an internal advertisement that's been updated. Sorry for the confusion.

You may want to consider breaking up the zipped VTT file into smaller parts. The download time on it is terribly high, and at 489mb, the risk of timing out is a likelihood. I've had to attempt it 4 times now, adn each attempt has failed... Just a suggestion... :)

Corey, sorry about that. I'll create a couple of map folders.

I've added B&W maps, and I've broken the color .jpg maps into two folders. They are still large files, but hopefully it doesn't fail on you.

Hey, thank you for pointing it out! I'm happy you like the encounters! :)

Absolutely love this bundle!! I'm a newbie to D&D and to DMing and thought a few one-shots would be a good way to get some practice. Long story short, I read through all of the Savage Cities encounters, picked about half of them and, with a few [...]

This book has something to offer for all kinds of players and Dungeon Masters. The encounters are well thought out and fun to play and scalable to boot and can be easily worked into any campaign or even used as engaging oneshots. They are also fleshed [...]

When I evaluate a supplement product there's a few question I tend to ask myself
"How likely am I to use this in my own game? Is there value in the material? How quickly can I adapt this to a different setting? Is it plug'n'play into my existing [...]

Really enjoying this. I am adding some of the quests to Tomb of Annihilation such as the Dirty Doves and It Ain't Rats. Good quality! The only comment I have, is that the maps are a bit simplistic. [...]

Just picked this up last Friday(and Encounters in the Savage Frontiers as well) and spent the weekend reading through both. First thing I have to say is, Soooo worth the money! Let me try to break this down for you. A fantastic showcase [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
